Rev. Browns subject was "Heavenly
Righteousness" and his text Reve-
lation IA chap. 5verse. "They are
without fault before the throne Of
God" What great contrast between
Heaven and earth. Heaven is a
place of purity and light, JOY, happi-
ness and peace. Earth is place Of
darkness and sin. Heaven and the
angelic host is pure like God, in their
mouth is found no guile; they are
without fault before the throne OF
God. There, unspeakable eplendor
displays itself before the throne OF
God, eyes have not seen, ears have
not heard Of the untold glory of God,
eyes have not beheld the magnificent
architecual mansions that God has
prepared for his people. In this
world men delight in wickedness,
their thoughts and the imagination
of their hearts are evil. There is
consolation found in the first Of this
chapter to enable saints to overcome

family. In this world ye shall have

who lived in the time of the apostles,

coming on the church. In this chap
John directs the mind Of the church
to the final triumph Of all the faith
full in Heaven. There is no persecu-
ton there, all the ransOmed shall
stand before the throne Of God in
white robes without fault, what grand
consolation to the bereaved saints in
our text. The dark clouds of religious
decension and sorrow has been an

each Christian, trouble comes on him
like floods Of tears, and earthly com
fort is gone. What felicitous scenes

men as we'll as women. Those in

many readers, that we haYe just
closed very pleasant session of the
Missionary District meeting, which
convened at Rosedale, Kan, June,
the 9th, to the 10th, 1887. The
first meeting was held at Westport,

am sorry that my engagements have
kept me so long from writing to
your paper, for in my opinion it is
an excellent one, and is calculated to
do much good.
The Missionary District meeting
met at 10 o'clock. The President,
Rev. III. Robertson, conducted relig'
ious services by reading the 4oth
Psalm; prayer by Rev. j. W. Crush
shon; Rev. L. M. Leonard sang, Am
[ soldier of the cross. The presl-
dent then announced the house ready
for business; the minutes of the last
meeting were read and approved;
several topics was discussed by the
brethren, and several resolutions was
offered. Topic, Is it the pastors
duty to visit; by Rev. W. B. Brown.
The best method of getting church
members interested in church work,
by Rev. j. w. Crushshon. Who is
responsible for the interest of the
prayer meeting services, by Rev. Z.
Shackleford. Considerable time was
spent in discussion by the different
brethren after which the following
resolutions were offered:
Resolved. First, that it is not the
partor's duty to visit for mere pleas
ure, in view of such visits the SAVIOUR
said, Go not from house to house;
Paul says they are busy bodies, those
who make such visits.
Resolved. Second, that it is the
pastors duty to make pastoral visits
or calls, such as visiting the sick,
widows and poor of the church, and
the community, generally to acquaint
himself with the prosperity and ad-
versities of his people. Respectfully
submitted, L. M. Leonard.
Resolved. 1t is the sense of this
6 quarterly district meeting to interest
members in the work of the church.
g 1. A pure gospel minister, conducted
; by lively preacher, associated with
a lively membership, each feeling
like responsibility and care holding
equal trust and burden, will awake
!, interest in the work of the church.
Respectfully submitted, j. W. Crush
shon.
Resolved. That it is the sense of
this meeting that the prayers are re-
sponsible for the interest of the pray
er meeting services. Respectfully
submitted, J. w. Crushshon.
